Does anybody really like digipacks? They always look cheap to me, and soon end up worn and tatty. The real reason they are popular with record companies (and some artists) is because they are cheaper to produce than standard jewel cased editions! Sometimes we are even asked to regard them as special or limited editions in some way! I particularly dislike digipacks with transparent trays where you can see uneven and yellowing blobs of glue securing the tray to the cardboard. How arty - NOT!
If cheap packaging is necessary, then I would prefer a cardboard sleeve like the freebies issued with newspapers have, or "vinyl replica sleeves" as the record companies like to call them.
